Python is a powerful, popular programming language that gets used for just about everything: basic coding, graphics processing, machine learning, AI, web scraping, data analysis, and much more.

Python’s easy-to-read syntax makes it a great introduction for people who are new to coding, and the large library of open-source modules make it easy to start making useful code right away.

This workshop offers an introduction to basic Python concepts that will help you get coding in no time – no previous programming experience required!

Topics include:

  • Writing and running scripts in Python
  • Data types
  • Variables and Functions
  • Calculations in Python
